...murky. I try to write her in really simplistic, very innocent terms. In that regard, she gets in trouble. She doesn't have a great command of the language yet; she doesn't speak the Queen's English, which I think would be ridiculous for a five-year-old. I just have fun. I try to make myself laugh...
...play with little Sarah next door; she's five, and she doesn't have her verb tenses down yet. No, no, no; wait until her grammar starts improving."

But when I visited him the following day, living in a tent with his mother, I learned that Nawfiz was still so traumatized that after first crying out in terror...
...quite two years ago, in the wake of yet another Harvard disappointment at the Beanpot, the Northeastern News’ sports page turned its attention from the ice to the stands, launching an unexpected and at times incoherent attack against the Harvard University Band. Wielding the wit and maturity of the average five-year-old, its author, Jack Weiland, alternately referred to the Crimson’s musical backers as “nerdy” and “dorky,” forever endearing himself to those of his readers who share his poorly masked inferiority complex regarding...
